SUMMARY It seems symlinks are ignored while looking for installed desktop themes. This is a shame because backup and synchronisation of themes is hard with data scattered throughout the home dir. It would be great if Plasma or which-ever library is responsible would follow symlinks for discovery. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. cd ~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/ 2. Link a theme with ln -s {themelocation} {themename} 3. run lookandfeeltool -l OBSERVED RESULT Theme not listed EXPECTED RESULT Theme listed
